The national secretary of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), Alhaji Abubakar Yakubu, has emerged as the new president of the association after a tightly contested election.
The poll, held on Saturday, December 6, 2025, at the Victor Uwaifo Creative Hub in Benin City, Edo State, saw Yakubu secure 116 votes, narrowly defeating actress Rita Daniels, who garnered 113 votes.
Yakubu will take over from Chief Emeka Rollas Ejezie, whose second and final term as AGN president concludes later this month.
